Well I am no OpenVPN expert to be honest and cannot answer you this question 100%.
So I am do not know better ... then I am always searching on the internet for others having the same problem: https://openvpn.net/faq/i-am-having-trou...ovpn-file/
So it seems in your *.ovpn file the certificates were not embedded by you and are just referenced as external files. So you have two possibilities ... embed the needed certificate and key in the *.ovpn file in the <cert> </cert> section and in the <key> </key> section (you can paste them since it is ASCII text only) or you copy the certificate file client.cnf and the client.key file into the requested folder the error message box is telling you.
By the way I looked into my personal *.ovpn file I used yesterday and I can see that it embeds the certificate and key already as ASCII text. So I did not have this problem.
